Questions for Curtis Pride, president of the Bahamas Track and Field Coaches Association
On Saturday, we sat down with Curtis Pride, newly elected president of The Bahamas Track and Field Coaches Association.
The association was founded in November of 1989 and some people think it has not lived up to its mandate. One thing that was noticed with the new president is his e-mail. It is email@example.com. The "serves" in the e-mail is a philosophy of life that the new president believes in. Here are the questions put to Pride and his answers. We failed to mention to him the performance incentives put in place some three years ago for coaches of junior athletes who win medals.
1. What has been your background in track and field as an athlete and a coach?
I was the first athlete from South Andros ever to make a junior national team, and win an international medal. I won the silver medal at CARIFTA then the gold medal at Junior CAC (Central American and Caribbean) in 1988, both in triple jump. As a full scholarship athlete for Morgan State University (MSU), I was a consistent medalist at the conference and regional level. I played a major role in helping Morgan win its first ever MEAC (Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) men's championship title. Thereafter, I spent two years training and competing with an elite club before making the transition fully into coaching.
Coaching is the main reason I never maximized my athletic potential. Even as an athlete I was coaching. I could not help it. I was always concerned with helping others succeed. My passion for this was so strong I would help my competitors beat me, in competition. When the head coach at MSU asked me to become an assistant coach I did not hesitate to give up my competitive goals.
I served as an assistant coach at MSU and head coach of Dunbar High School in Baltimore before returning home. After returning home, I spent a short time at St. John's College before reviving the Ambassadors Athletic Club. After a few successful years of coaching under Ambassadors which included the honor of being named to serve as a coach with three junior national teams, I left coaching. I returned two years ago after more than six years away from the sport. I am now coaching again with Ambassadors and developing an elite training program.
2. The coaches association was formed in 1999 and Rupert Gardiner was elected as the first president. It has had some challenges since its inception. What made you decide to seek the leadership?
I was asked by some of my colleagues who recognized the need for the association and was searching for a leader who could re-structure and re-brand the organization in the best interest of all coaches and further advancement of the sport. At first I said no because the politics of the sport had contributed heavily to the long break I took from the sport, and It did not seem to align with my personal goals. However, as I listened and watched, the desire to help others succeed re-emerged. Our sport and coaches are faced with many challenges. Many of my colleagues want the same things I am seeking. We want athletic coaching to be recognized and respected as a vocation and equal opportunity to all. I decided to lead because I want to be integral in shaping the future of sports coaching in The Bahamas.
3. What are your goals as president?
As you noted above, the association faced many challenges since its inception. When we (the current executive board) looked at the history and the current realities of the association, three negatives are obvious: There has being no real continuity in the business of the association; the association has never earned much respect among the stakeholders of our sport, and it always seemed to be a club for a small group of "elite coaches" - an exclusive club.
In my short two-year term as president, I will lead the way toward three main goals focused on securing the future of the association. Please note that these are not my goals - they are 'our' goals. They are: to restructure the association to support athletics coaching as a vocation; to rebrand the association into a professional organization and to develop a five-year strategic plan to ensure proactive governance, productivity and growth.
4. We have a few coaches concentrating on long-distance running and field events. What does your association plan to do to rectify this?
We have already decided that both are primary areas of focus, but we're still in the process of planning what to do. We plan to engage the coaches concerned, to hear their needs and ideas before finalizing our plans. We do know though that the plan will include better recruitment of athletes, more resources and good incentives for throwing and distance coaches.
5. Is there anything you are excited about?
I'm excited about eight-year-old Ashely whose natural running abilities amaze me, 11-year-old Christian who despite a great physical challenge is transforming into an awesome athlete, the passion of Kelsey and Maya for running, the intensity of Juliette in competition, Angel and Vernique's commitment to learning, Brian who seems poised to jump farther than I did as a junior, Andretti and Zhivago and Francis who believe in my ability to prepare them for the 2016 Olympics. I am excited about the opportunity to help each of them succeed. Their potential and performances excited me.
6. Who are the other members of your executive committee?
Rupert Gardiner, 1st vice president; Felix Seymour, 2nd vice president; Jason Edwards, secretary general; Shaun Miller, treasurer; Greg Cash, assistant secretary general; and Fritz Grant, David Ferguson and Wendell Collie, board members.
7. What are your views and the association's views in education and training of coaches?
Both are the same. Education is important but it does not only result from studying theory. Experience gained through application is equally important. Individual coaches must continually seek education, and training/learning should never stop. Our association must standardize a learning pathway for its members toward ensuring a standard level of competency and accountability at each level of coaching. However, it must do all it can to facilitate development and training so it is available and affordable to all.
8. Mandate of the association should be to be inclusive of coaches throughout the entire Bahamas - all of New Providence and the Family Islands. Are this executive's plans any different from the former executive's plans?
I am not able to speak about the former plans because I have not ever seen any, but here's a part of the new plan: The empowerment of Family Island coaches is a priority in our strategic plan that's being developed. We will be mainly focused on educating and equipping at least one coach in all of the major Family Islands. We will also help facilitate and support a coaches association in Grand Bahama. This is a part of the responsibility that is being appointed to Felix Seymour (from Grand Bahama) who was elected to our executive board as 2nd vice president. We expect him to play a vital role in engaging his colleagues in the vision of the association. We also plan on actively engaging the Family Island rep who has already been appointed but not yet announced publicly in making sure the voice of all island coaches are heard, and their needs met. We will ensure that we have island participation in all our initiatives.
9. Financing is so important to any organization. It is no different for the coaches association. Will your association embark on anything different from the past?
We understand that there is an adequate amount of funds available through a number of local and international organizations that we can access. The challenge is gaining these organizations' trust by demonstrating good operations inclusive of financial integrity. We intend to achieve this. In addition, there are a number of opportunities to earn income for the association through fundraising and some special athletic events we plan to promote and manage. We are starting with very little but we will work hard and smart, to ensure that there's money in our account to fund the association's future work.
10. Most coaches in my opinion wish to be members of the national teams. What is your view on this?
This is true because it has become the culture and remains the main award for a coach's performance. Making a national team makes a coach feel successful and special. Not making the team makes one feel the opposite. If we didn't provide different ways to measure their performances, recognize their achievements and reward coaches for their service, many would decline coaching teams. It's not so easy for coaches with corporate careers and family responsibilities to travel.
11. How do you see the coaches association working with the BAAA?
In collaboration to do the following: promote coaching in The Bahamas so as to improve the quality of performance and the level of participation in track and field; encourage the accreditation, training and testing of persons to become qualified coaches and arrange for the proper regulation of such activities; develop the coaching of track and field within clubs, schools and any other institutions; safeguard the professional integrity and image of the association and its members and represent the interests of coaching and coaches in the decision-making processes affecting the association.
Thank-you so much and good luck!o Pride was busy on Saturday coaching athletes of the Ambassadors Track Club during the Fritz Grant Invitational, organized by the club.
Track and field parents association significant to BAAA's success
There is a particular aspect of track and field in this country that makes, with continuity, a huge contribution to the national development of the sport of athletics.
I refer to The Bahamas Parents Association of Track and Field Athletes. This organization, headed by Harrison Petty, has been the bread-and-butter producer of track and field scholarships in the nation and has mightily assisted many athletes through sponsorships. Thus it has been vital to the success the Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations (BAAA) claims.
To make the point for readers, I wish to submit some names: Leevan Sands, Sheniqua Ferguson, Derrick Atkins, Aaron Cleare and Trevor Barry. Each of the above has attained World Championships or Olympic medals or both, or has been a top international finalist.
Sands got a lot of early support from the association. He went on to win bronze medals at two World Championships and the 2008 Beijing Olympics bronze medal as well.
Sheniqua Ferguson, like Sands, enjoyed meaningful sponsorship from the association. She is one of the rising female sprinters in the world and was a part of the 2009 World Championships Bahamian silver medal winning sprint relay squad.
Atkins is the fastest Bahamian ever and the only Bahamian sprinter to run sub-10 seconds. His national record is 9.91 and he has also registered a legal 9.98. Add to that a wind-aided 9.86 and a 9.83 and he stands head and shoulders above every other Bahamian sprinter in times recorded. He was a direct scholarship recipient through the parents association. So were Aaron Cleare and Trevor Barry.
Cleare was one of the quality quarter-milers who helped to establish the country's legacy in the 1,600 meters relay. He was on the Bahamian team that placed sixth in the 1,600 meters relay final at the Athens Olympic Games.
Barry is Mr. Consistent. For a long time, he competed in the shadows of fellow Bahamian Donald Thomas, the former World Champion, Commonwealth Games champion and Pan American Games champion. However, Barry's bronze medal at the 2011 World Championships cemented him as one of the top high jumpers in the world.
The aforementioned athletes head a long list of young Bahamian boys and girls who have been afforded scholarships to institutions in the United States by the parents association, and accordingly, opportunities to expand their horizons through education and sports.
In the general scheme of things, the National Sports Academy, proposed by Prime Minister Perry Christie, will succeed only if it finds a way to bring such successful programs into the fold. I suggest that a meaningful path should be found to include such progressive and independent entities into the overall National Sports Academy structure.

New Providence Contractors Association holds first general meeting
NASSAU, Bahamas -- Contractors, business owners and various industry leaders packed the Bahamas Public Services Union Hall on East Street South on Thursday, April 28th, to attend the first general meeting held by the New Providence Contractors Association.
The meeting kicked off at 7:30 pm with a rally cry and a call for unity within the construction industry. Leading this call was NPCA's founder Delroy Meadows who made it clear that the association was committed to fight for equal access and opportunity for all Bahamian contractors within the industry. He called for diverse representation for contractors throughout the Bahamas. "We intentionality called this organization the New Providence Contractors Association because I believe that each major island should form its own association to represent the needs of their island. We should then connect as one body with the purpose creating our own investments and ensuring fairness withing the industry."
Various industry concerns were addressed by the panel during the meeting that evening. One of the major concerns among many in attendance included a proposed Contractors Bill which is being presented before the Government by the Bahamas Contractors Association. Many who were in attendance during the meeting voiced their opposition to the Bill and the principles of the Bahamas Contractors Association who were responsible for drafting it.
The panel included Attorney Alex Morley who dissected the proposed Bill before the audience to give those in attendance a clear understanding of what the implications were for those working in the industry if the Bill were to pass in Parliament.
Concerns were expressed were the Bill referenced the appointment of a Board by officials of the Bahamas Contractors Association which would govern both an Acceptance and Disciplinary Committee. Many saw these as conflicts of interests as the Bill also calls for the formation of both committees by the same Board appointed by the BCA.
Watson elected as president of the Bahamas Diving Association
Dive legend Neal Watson, who recently joined forces with Guy Harvey as Director of Outpost Dive Operations, has been elected for a two-year term as president of the Bahamas Diving Association.
Brendal Stevens, owner of Brendal's Dive Center in Green Turtle Cay, The Bahamas, was elected as the vice president.
Watson has been a pioneer in the dive resort business, starting his first dive operation in Freeport, The Bahamas in 1965. He has been involved in owning and operating hotels, establishing a chain of dive operations, working in the treasure salvage business, stunt coordinator for the movie and TV industry, owned and operated an airline charter company and established a chain of Neal Watson's Undersea Adventure franchise dive operations in The Bahamas and the Caribbean.
In 1985, Watson moved to Fort Lauderdale from Bimini and established Neal Watson's Undersea Adventures as a Florida corporation. Shortly thereafter, he started USA Travel Network, Inc., which is an ARC accredited tour company specializing in diving and adventure sports travel.
Recently, Watson agreed to join the Guy Harvey Outpost system's Expedition Outfitters program as Director of Outpost Dive Operations to recruit top dive operators in Florida, The Bahamas and the Caribbean.
Watson, a past president of the Bahamas Diving Association, recently finished his third term on the Board of Directors of DEMA (Dive Equipment & Marketing Association), which is the World Trade Association for the diving industry; and is Chair of the Bahamas Dive Marketing Committee, which is responsible for recommending budget expenditures for The Bahamas' Ministry Tourism for the Bahamas Government Dive Market Promotions.
Personal achievements include breaking the World Scuba Depth Record, diving 437 feet on compressed air as well as breaking the World Underwater Distance Record by swimming 66 miles underwater, non-stop without surfacing.

NPSA's junior development league coming into full swing
Junior female softball players falling under the New Providence Softball Association's (NPSA) umbrella are expected to take full advantage of a five-week training program, that will swing into action this month.
The fundamental training sessions are apart of the NPSA's Junior Development Ladies Softball League. The re-introduction of the summer league is just one of the many programs NPSA President Godfrey Burnside will bring to fruition before his two-year period comes to an end. The summer league will run from June 24-July 28, with play being held at the Bankers Field, located at the Baillou Hills Sporting Complex.
"The NPSA has had an established junior softball camp that started in the late 1990s and came to an end around 2005, that's when the Churchill Tener Knowles stadium got demolished," said Burnside. "Even though this is the same program, designed to enhance or improve the skills of our junior female athletes, it is an upgrade to what we once had. I am glad that we are going to have this program again. It is much needed as we try to develop the skills and talents of our junior players, as well as try and qualify for more international tournaments."
Interested persons between the ages of eight and16 years are asked to meet at the park on Saturday June 24 for registration. The three days selected for training are Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. A three-hour session will be held on Saturdays, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 12 noon. The scrimmage games will be played just before the first game of the 2013 NPSA regular season.
Burnside said: "There has been a deterioration in the level of play, especially when at the international level. There are some very skilled and talented young ladies in the league now, particularly in Grand Bahama and in New Providence. If we are able to work with these players, help to improve their skills and correct their forms at a very early age, the level of play will increase. What we are going to do, especially on Saturday mornings, is go through the basic skills, that are fielding, throwing, gloving, hitting and base running. There will be opportunities for them to play in real games, showcasing exactly what they have learned. Those games will be played before the women's match."
Burnside is hoping to have representation from a number of the junior and senior high school programs here in New Providence. He is currently in communication with the president of the Government Secondary Schools Sports Association (GSSSA) Alfred Forbes. A number of meetings have also been held, discussing the way forward for the program and the interaction of the physical education teachers.
The NPSA is also working closely with the Bahamas Baseball Federation (BBF) and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology so that the sport of baseball can be added into the curriculum, as soon as this coming school year. The reconstruction of the Churchill Tener Knowles National Stadium is another one of the projects that is expected to get off the ground this year. By the time it is officially opened, Burnside is hoping to have a vibrant junior softball league which will be a feeder system to the night league.

Condo and homeowners associations fees subject to VAT
The Ministry of Finance said yesterday that maintenance fees for condominium and homeowners associations will be subject to value-added tax (VAT) if the annual billings exceed the mandatory registration threshold of $100,000.
For some associations, this threshold may not be reached until property insurance services become VAT-able in July 2015.
In such cases, mandatory registration would be put off for six months.
The ministry encouraged associations in this second category to register initially on a voluntary basis so that transparent billing practices can be followed from the outset.
An important advantage of registration is that condominium and homeowners associations would be able to issue VAT invoices to VAT registrants who use such properties as vacation rentals, the ministry said.
While homeowners associations operate on a non-profit basis, their services are of a cost recovery nature, just like common area maintenance charges on commercial rentals and leases.
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Finance explained that, because of this, many associations will see little difference between the adjustment in maintenance fees billed and the change in VAT inclusive expenses charged to them by service providers.
In these cases, the collection of VAT from homeowners will match very closely the input credits that associations would be able to claim. There is no upside revenue potential for the government, the spokesperson said.
Associations might find, however, that there is net revenue that must be paid to the government, if they directly employ a significant number of staff to provide homeowner services.
Unlike for profit operations, business license fees will not be imposed on homeowner associations. However, residential real estate held as assets for investment/commercial purposes may be subject to business license fees and VAT when used as vacation rentals.
The ministry advises that the online system for VAT registration began on October 13.
Applications for mandatory registration must be filed by November 30, 2014.

All of Squad 6 took notice of Byakya's odd behavior.Instead of his usual strictness, he was a lot gentler with his subordinates when correcting their mistakes. However, his features showed a much sadder expression. He was also more distant and tended to space out a lot of the times of the day.At the end of the day, as the squad bowed to their captain as he passed, Chyna looked up at the lieutenant Abarai Renji. "Hey, Abarai! Why is Captain Kuchiki acting so weird.""Today is the anniversary of Hisana-sama's death.

It's dragonfly time again! Though they look ferocious (hence their name), dragonflies are actually very harmless to people, and great for your garden and yard!
Dragonflies are predators and eat lots of small bugs. When they first hatch they live underwater and eat other underwater bugs, especially mosquito larvae. In fact, they are one of the major predators of mosquito larvae. However, they don't reproduce as often or as quickly as mosquitos, so if when pesticides are applied to ponds to kill mosquitos, they kill the dragonflies too, but the mosquitos will return again quicker than the dragonflies will.
Once they are grown, the dragonflies continue to hunt other bugs. Which bugs they eat depends on the species of dragonfly, but include small bugs like mosquitos and gnats to larger bugs like caterpillars, moths, etc. There are even dragonflies that eat small mammals like frogs!
There are many species of dragonflies, and they are all fun to watch. They are territorial, and sometimes will buzz you if you are in their space (but won't attack you – don't worry!). Some fly around to patrol their space, and some find a favorite perch from which to keep an eye on everything in their territory. If you want to find some dragonflies, the best place to look is near standing water, since that is where they reproduce and are most likely to hang out.

Hello wise GWers! I am in the process of roughing in a window over a shower and want to avoid having to put in a tempered glass window. My code book says that tempered glass is only required if the "glazing is less than 60" above the shower standing surface". Honestly, I have no idea what kind of shower base I will put in (acrylic pan, tile, or solid surface) but I need to finish the framing soon. So, can you guide me on the range of thicknesses for shower bases? I am looking for the typical height between the subfloor and the "standing surface" for these different base options. I do know that I would prefer a slim/low threshold but I doubt I would do a barrier free entrance. I have looked at the engineering diagrams of a bunch of acrylic shower pans, but none of the drawings show the standing surface height. Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide. I am trying to eke out the tallest possible window without violating the code requirement. (And I can't raise the window header because it is already fixed.) |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mud bases covered with a topical membrane are usually 1-1/4" thick at the drain and slope up 1/4" per foot to the wall. For a 4' square shower, that's about an extra 1/2". So figure 1-3/4" thick at the wall. On top of that sloped mud you'll have the membrane, thinset and tile, roughly 3/8" total. 2-1/8" total. Add in a little extra for Murphy, figure 2-1/2" to be on the safe side. If you do a CPE membrane that is set on top of a sloped mud bed with a second layer of mud over that, add 1" to the above number. That's being generous. It can certainly be thinner, but it shouldn't be thicker than that. If you use a base like a Kohler cast iron shower receptor, it's about 2-1/4". For any of the tile-ready or preformed shower bases, you can look up their drawings online. Typically, thinset is about 1/8" thick and tile 3/16" to 1/4" thick. Your mileage may vary... |
That's great information Mongo -- thank you! I have started to look at the preformed bases, but have been stunned by how expensive they are. Do you have any suggestions for products that provide good results without breaking the bank? |

Texas Health Institute: A Long-Term Commitment to Health Policy Research
State Forums Partnership Program
Dates of Project: January 1999 to December 2006
Field of Work: Informing state policymakers about complex health issues affecting their states.
Synopsis of the Work: The State Forums Partnership Program was a program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) that enabled seven states to establish health policy forums programs that provided timely, nonpartisan information and analysis to help state policy-makers make informed decisions about complex health care issues affecting their states. Texas was one of the participating states.
As described in this sidebar, the Texas Health Institute held nine statewide forums that were attended by 453 legislators and staff, state agency policy-makers, providers, and advocacy groups between 2000 and 2002. It also sponsored or co-sponsored eight local forums.

I just received 2 of his 1.5 belts. Were on time right as promised. I thought I had owned high quality belts in the past, but they were absolutely no match for these, particularly when it comes to holding a holster.
Pistol feels significantly more secure on my hip.
Excellent job Beltman!!

I attended the Croydon Memorial Day Parade a few weeks ago and was surprised when Dr. Kimberly Rose walked along the parade route handing out her electioneering literature. Someone should remind Dr. Rose that the reason we have that parade is to honor those who have fought and sacrificed for our country. The reason is not to allow wannabe politicians the ability to campaign in a community they know nothing about.
Her opponent, Tommy Tomlinson, was also in the parade. He, however, acted accordingly by wishing everyone a solemn Memorial Day and giving a wonderful speech at the Schumacher VFW Post about the importance of honoring those who sacrificed. State Rep. Tina Davis also gave a good speech along the same lines. Neither were handing out literature about themselves.

I'm sure this has been asked before but I'm looking for options (holster, clothing, location) for carrying that work well for a small guy. We're looking at 5'5" and a buck thirty five here - not a big fella, for sure. Anything that works for you out there, or anyone you know - even what works for women - but I ain't wearin no bra holster Thanks gang.

With a basic old faithfull holster kit and any of the sub compact single stack can be hide , cm9, nano, shield, pf-9, bd9. Even the smallest double stacks from KT and sccy and the airweight revolvers can hide well with a smaller grips. My son-in-law wears a KT P-11 in a old faithfull and he's taller at 5-9 but skinny at 140lb. He said he could not wear a wider holsters and used a small leather hoster. I bought him a Old Faithfull kit and hes pleases as heck now. He is a t-shirt wear'n ele/ plumber and tucks in his shirts. If recoil is an issue a bersa 380 CC will do . My 100lb youngest girl cc's one of those. nice little pistol.
I am 5' 11" and just got back up to 125lbs I was down to 105lbs bc of some health issues. I currently carry either a CZ P-07 in a cross breed super tuck or a Sig P938 in a Tommy Theis holster ( they are a hybrid holster like the cross breed but I think they are made better). I have even carried a full size CZ 85 in the Theis holster with no problems. Even when I only wieghed 105 none of these guns were hard to conseal. With a good holster and a good gun belt you can conseal a cannon on your hip. As for the belt I recomend the Liger belt from Edgy Gear. Its stiffer than most heavy leather gun belts but still looks like a normal belt.

This is Your Brain on Drugs
The thing about fiction is that it is, well, fiction. In the movies, we see tiny snippets of real life between dramatic and romantic perfection. Even when things aren't perfect in romance movies, somehow everything always feels so damned perfect. But falling in love or not, in real life, ultimately, somebody has to do the laundry, somebody is going to leave the top off the toothpaste, somebody is going to leave the toilet seat up, and somebody has to get up at 2am, then again at 4am, with the baby, or the 4 year old who is having a nightmare. We have to go to work. Walk the dog. Pay the mortgage. Get the kids to school. Then to soccer. Baseball. Dance class. Meet the teacher. Pick up the babysitter. Your mother is coming for the weekend. His brother is crashed on your couch. Someone needs to get the car fixed and clean up after last night's meal that was thrown together from a box of instant-something in the ten minutes you had when you both got home after a very long day at work. How long does this list go on in your house? See? You don't have TIME for love.
The point is that, in general, life is not all that romantic.
Inevitably, that "this is it" feeling that comes with new love fades into something that feels so desperately ordinary, or worse—it crashes completely. Either way, you are left mourning it for the rest of the relationship, sometimes the rest of your life.
And what does that sound like? In addiction circles, they call it "chasing the high." That first experience was so hot and intense, it leaves you forever trying to get it back.
According to an early article in The Economist, scientists are finding that "...after all, love really comes down to a chemical addiction."
Here is the science of it. You're addicted to oxytocin, a hormone that acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain. It has even been dubbed "the cuddle chemical." Research has found that it is released during touch, even hugging between people. It is thought to contribute to recognition, bonding and trust, and it is even known to contribute to maternal, nurturing behavior.
That's not all. There are other drugs at work when you fall in love. You might recognize the surge of adrenaline, which is what kicks your heartbeat up several notches and has you a little short of breath. The neurotransmitter dopamine is busy stimulating desire and has you looking for pleasure. And the ever-important serotonin is increasing your overall sense of well-being and general happiness. All in all, no wonder you're in a state of euphoria.
Ultimately, your body can't sustain the increased and dramatic level of intensity that comes with falling in love. So if falling in love is nothing but a really good chemical reaction, what is left when the drugs fade to realistic levels? What happens when you crash off your high and you're dragged back to dreaded reality?
This is where real love comes in.

2004 BMW M3 Coupe
ProsGreat engine, great suspension, and great brakes ConsLess glamorous than the E36 M3 (IMO)
The Best Handling Car Ever — The E46 M3 is the best handling car that I've ever driven. The performance is just superb - including the powerful yet smooth engine, stable and solid handling, and excellent braking. I am an average driver, but my M3 makes me feel like I'm a Formula One driver. Every single minute I spend behind its wheel is a sheer pleasure. Just can't think of driving any other car.

ProsPerformance, fun drive !!!! ConsExpensive !!!
M3 2004 — Performance, this car have a unique handling, braking and of course acceleration time ..... Appearance, as you can see, BMW, has for the "M" models a unique colors frame, diferent from the regulars one´s. Fun factor: It is the most fun car i drive from all i got in my entire life. |
2004 BMW M3 Coupe
ProsPOWER!!!! ConsTHE DAMN PRICE I PAID
"bolted To A Six-speed Manual Transmission, The M3 Can Hit 60 Mph In 4.8 Seconds." — The greatest car ever built. This car is by far the greatest machine ever built. Yes, the car was expensive, but well worth the price of admission. The car i have has the SMG tranny, and for the most part, it works fantastically. With all that said however, the ride is great, handles like on rails, and can easily do over 155mph, so be careful. cruising at 120 sometimes feels like 75, and as you are zooming by troopers, you need to look down at the speedometer to make sure you are not going too fast. I bought new rims but kept the 18" for backups. Mileage is great for a car with 333hp, i get a mixed 23mpg, and I am thrilled by that. The original tires lasted 40k miles, so I thought i would upgrade to toyo t1R tires, and in 12k miles, they are completely bald. Stay with the OEM contis. so far no maintenance or repairs to complain about. GPS nav screen is bright and works great at night to drive with. I get a lot of looks while I am driving, with many teenage girls screaming for me, and older guys drooling on the car. All in all, i am very happy with the car, can't say much for the back seat, since it has been used twice, never by me, but feels roomy enbough for two adults. I have to say that there is not another car I can think of that gets the power, room, looks, handling, gas mileage, and overall driveability as an everyday car than my M3. |

The Best Ride Ever But I Can Do W/o The Service — The car is beautiful on the outside looks like a civic inside, drives like a dream but the car gives me a terrible time when it comes to the smaller details. Don't get the sun roof (waste!!)...it continuously opens and closes on its own..repaired 3 times but still no good...BMW service is horrendous...long waits, rude service and they are CLUELESS, especially PARK AVENUE BMW IN MAYWOOD (Trashhh!!!) Purchase a keyless entry..warning idiots will attempt to break into the vehicle even though they CANT Start it...figures they put all their money into making the engine and nothing more..Beautiful drive, beautiful exterior...crappy service :-( Owner for 2 years, 6 months Miles Driven per Year:12,000 |
2004 BMW M3 Coupe
ProsThe look of E46 is by far the best looking IMHO of BMW. ConsToo heavy
My Dreamcar Just Got A Bit Too Heavy And Smg Sucked — I owned a 99 BMW 328i and I loved it. Since then, E46 M3 was my dreamcar. Unfortunately, after a few weeks owing it, I found it a bit over weight. The SMG automanual sucked. Either shifting too abrupt or too slow. I was never able to dial it to behave correctly. Well, it could be me who expected the computer to shift better than human could. Obviously, with single clutch, that is not possible. I kept the car for a year or so and got rid of it so soon as I could. That was my last BMW ... Primary Use: Commuting to work |

ProsSMG Gearbox is amazing. ConsDoesn't get the best gas mileage, but it's a race car!
Really Sleek Looking, Great Power, And Handles Amazingly Well. — I really love the SMG transmission, shifting in 80ms in it's fastest shift-mode. The 333hp engine really puts out, and throws you into your seat. It handles like a dream, very snappy and doesn't lag at all. The throttle input is amazing as well, the engine responds instantly as you depress the pedal. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

ProsIt's 333 hp. 6 spd manual transmission. I've never owned a better car. ConsNothing.
It's Amazing. Buy One. — It's 333 hp. 6 spd manual transmission. I've never owned a better car. It's fast as hell. It was expensive when it came out but wasn't bad as a used car price. The car is excellent to drive, fast, great handling and the interior is very top notch. Great all around car. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

ProsHandling, Braking ConsMaint. costs
Amazing — Best All Around sports car for its age. Takes a solid second place, in every category making it a easy win and a very good buy. Handles better then any car out there, and also has descent power. The E46 M3 I think i in the top ten best cars ever made. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2004 BMW M3 Coupe
Prosvery fast, great looking car. The handling is out of this world and the enginuity of european cars is second to none. 5 star crash test rating. Conscostly to fix, not as easy to put people in than a say a 4 door car.
I Love This Car With My Whole Heart I Just Have 2 Kids So I Need A Truck Or Sedan At This Point. — It gets look every where I go in it and compliments almost daily. I am OCD so I never wanted to use this car for its meaning which is going fast....very fast. You can absolutely feel the power in this car, it does not like going slow. I cant put my kids in it though so outside of driving to work for a month or so before going to the field for three months or a deployment for a year I got no use out of it. This car has been well looked after and I really doubt if there are many if any others in this year and model that look as good as this. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Here's what GW tech editor Paul Riario hopes to find under his tree this year!
Guitar World rounds up 17 amazing practice amps that will make you sound better.
The definitive guide to Kurt Cobain's pawn shop prizes, stomp boxes and blown woofers.
Based on the control set of the critically acclaimed and best-selling ID:Core series of guitar amps, the ID:Core BEAM takes incredible guitar tone into the home and becomes the central hub for instruments and stunning music playback.
Building on the breakout momentum generated by its return to the guitar gear scene, Supro USA is now set to launch another trio of vintage-inspired amp models with reverb and tremolo at the 2015 Winter NAMM show.
It's over, folks! The 2015 Winter NAMM Show took place Thursday morning, January 22, through Sunday, August 25, in Anaheim, California. As always, Guitar World NAMM-ed it up, shooting photos and videos, gathering endless gear news and trying out (and gawking at) the coolest guitars, amps, effects, devices and more that are being introduced for 2015.
For 2015 only, Peavey celebrates its golden anniversary with the release of two limited-edition amplifiers, the 50th anniversary commemorative 6505 + head, and the 50th anniversary commemorative Classic 30 112 combo.
Mogami Platinum guitar cable is recognized as being among the finest instrument cables on the planet, exhibiting extraordinarily neutral, extended and detailed sound from any instrument.
Peavey Electronics is proud to introduce the 6505 MH mini head. The newest addition to Peavey's celebrated 6505 series, the all-tube 6505 MH authentically produces the legendary tones of the Peavey 6505 in a small, portable package.
Peavey Electronics has unveiled the Classic 20 MH mini head, the latest addition to Peavey's timeless Classic series.
Peavey Electronics has introduced the Headliner 1000, a new 1000-watt rack-mountable bass amplifier head. With matching enclosures, the Headliner 1000 packs huge power and innovative tone features in a lightweight 10-pound package.
Carvin Corp announces the formation of a new and separate company, Kiesel Guitars, which will take control of the guitar and bass manufacturing and sales of all Carvin and Kiesel brand instruments starting February 1. Kiesel Guitars owners Mark Kiesel and Jeff Kiesel formed the new company so they can focus exclusively on the advancement of instruments.
As a teenager, Paul Reed Smith dreamed of building guitars decorated with European-style dragons. Paul's dream became reality in 1992 when he unveiled his first limited edition Dragon guitar. Since that time, PRS Guitars has introduced only seven Dragon editions, each in very limited numbers.

Clayton News Daily
By Johnny Jackson
firstname.lastname@example.com Hampton Postmaster Jerry Sparks gets the rush each year on April 15 - a non-stop influx of last-minute tax return filers. "We'll be pretty busy," Sparks said. His is a smaller post office, compared to some other offices in metro Atlanta. While the Hampton Post Office, located at 998 U.S. Highway 19/41, will be open from 8:30 a.m., until 5 p.m., some others could get crowds as late as midnight tonight. Six Atlanta-area post offices will extend their window service hours until midnight. The nearest to the Southern Crescent is the Atlanta Main Post Office, located at 3900 Crown Road. It will be open from 6 a.m., today, until midnight. "The tax filing deadline is one of the single busiest days of the year at the post office," said Kate Willey, Atlanta district manager for the U.S. Postal Service. "By extending hours, we hope we can make this day a little less stressful for our customers." Officials recommend last-minute filers visit the post office early to avoid the rush later in the day. "My recommendation to everybody would be [to] get started early," Sparks said. Filers may also speed the process along by using the post office's Automated Postal Centers to buy stamps. "One thing that people can remember is, we have a lot of outlets that people can purchase stamps. Publix, Walmart, Kroger, and Sam's Club are local retailers that carry first-class stamps," Sparks said. Filers should double check their returns to be sure the proper return address and correct postage are included. "Most people, now, are wanting a confirmation that their taxes get to the IRS, and we recommend certified mail," he said. Sparks warned that when dropping off tax returns, filers should pay attention to the last pick-up time posted on the post office drop boxes. Most mail which has been deposited by midnight should be post-marked by the April 15 deadline, he said. Deposits after midnight, or after the last posted pick-up time, will be post-marked for the following day. "As long as they have it dropped in the mail slots by midnight, their income taxes should be postmarked by the deadline," he said. Those who are unable to complete and mail their 2008 tax return by today's deadline may request an extension. "[However,] your request for extension must be mailed or e-filed no later than April 15," said IRS spokesman Mark Green. "The extension will give you an automatic six additional months [until Oct. 15] to file your 2008 tax return." He said the extension is good for extending the amount of time taxpayers have to file tax returns, but is not an extension on time they have to pay taxes owed. Taxpayers can request an extension by mailing in Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, which is available on the IRS web site. - On the net: Internal Revenue Service: www.irs.govMore like this story

The boy who cried wolf.
Nobody believed him anymore. If you sound off a false alarm like the boy in the story, nobody will ever believe anything you say again, so this is your chance to provide the evidence that such a thing as you predict, has ever happened. |
I figured it out. The more your recommend XP past April, the more "problems" people will have to bring to you to fix. That's really sad. |
Otherwise, you should consider not terrorizing users into believing that they have to dump their XP system and acquire another OS. Just provide the evidence and you'll be OK. |
http://blogs.technet.c http://blogs.technet.c Lots of data on infection rates, even while Microsoft was still patching it over the last year. An infected machine has impact beyond the local system. |
Me: Evidence why running an unpatched microsoft OS connected to the internet is bad You: Me: Evidence why running an unpatched microsoft OS connected to the internet is bad You: You are doubling down. |
You couldn't even find one obscure article about how users were horribly affected by some discontinued Windows system that is now unsupported? C'mon now. You've been blabbing on for weeks now about how HP users had better switch to Linux by April 2014, as if it was God's spoken truth, and you can't find one shred of evidence to support that? Not to worry, I couldn't find any evidence of it either, and Frogstar could only come up with yet more speculation, so I'm guessing there isn't any, is there? If it's any consolation to you, I searched high and low to try to find any such evidence of any old Windows system, 95, 98, 2000, Millenium and didn't find any, but I did find old articles that speculated that people using those systems were about to face Armageddon, just like you've been saying, yet it never happened. I think it's time to stop, don't you? |
just like the other OS's someone will find an exploit (could be a day a month 6 months) and at some point a worm will run though anyone running those systems. Sent from the official Slickdeals App for Android. |
I experienced BlasterWorm back in the day - I remember very well formatting and reinstalling XP on an infected system, installing an antivirus from a disk, then connecting it to the internet to update the AV and download the BlasterWorm patch and the system was reinfected before I could even apply the patch (literally in minutes). That was pretty damned eye opening, not to mention a huge time waster for me and difficult to explain to the client.
I don't think there is going to be an instant apocalypse, but I do think it's going to start slow and get worse and worse and worse. I explain it to my clients that XP support ending is like a house that's been well maintained for years and now nobody is going to maintain it at all going forward. It might take some time but pretty soon the mice are going to get in through the cracks and eventually the roof will cave in. Nobody can tell how long it will take but it WILL happen. The way I see it is that the difference between this MS end of support and previous MS ends of support is scale. There are literally tens of millions of XP system still in use out there, many of them unlicensed in China and eastern Europe, being used by businesses with valuable information to steal. There are also well organized gangs of cybercriminals waiting in the wings, probing for vulnerabilities, with big plans for monetizing whatever they can steal. The mice KNOW the house is about to be abandoned and are already looking for the way in. Whether you switch to a free alternative OS (which has costs as well in terms of retraining and application support), upgrade to Windows 7 at $100/per license, or pay whatever it costs to buy a replacement machine with a supported operating system, it's a small cost compared to the risk that is taken by continuing to run Windows XP for any length of time after patching ends. The world is a different, riskier place then when Windows ME was the standard. |
Sent from the official Slickdeals App for Android. |
If KAT2 got into an old unsupported system, it's no more surprising that the Cryptolocker virus getting into 7 and 8. If sd444 said something to the effect of, "we are concerned about the effect that XP being unsupported as of April this year", that would be 100% legitimate, but when it's taken to a higher level, like "you're screwed if you don't get rid of XP and go to Linux", then it becomes a scare tactic, predicated on speculation and BS and it's not fair, righteous or moral, to do that to non savvy users who would tend to believe a poster who's monicker, shows him as a teacher. This is a help forum and if we can't live up to being moral and ethical, then we shouldn't be posting answers to people's questions. The amount of ignorance shown in these last 10 or 20 posts, going from insinuating that I'm ignorant, a troll, etc, instead of actually facing the fact that there is no historical evidence to support the claim that XP users will be in deep trouble, come April 2014. We are accountable for what we say and do. If posters are going to try to scam newbies and non savvy SD posters, it's up to those of us who do live by a moral code, to stop them. It's as simple as that. Think of someone scamming your own child like that. You'd be so pizzed that you'd want to beat on the b****** who did it. We have to maintain that same level of concern, ethics, morality, in this forum, otherwise, we are useless. |
for a home user if they take the risk of using XP that is on them. for a business to continue using it is a lack of due diligence and they can be held liable. Sent from the official Slickdeals App for Android. |
Did you even read my links? With the cited, ACTUAL infection rates taking place while Microsoft was still patching? So you're speculating that what... the infection rates will go down once Microsoft is no longer patching? And wondering why people are saying you're ignorant? Yes, XP machines will still run. People with cancer and AIDS are still alive, too. |
We are dealing with home users and that's who we are talking about. If one single SD'er managed to suffer some type of disastrous even from still using unsupported XP, it would be a miracle. You'd have better odds of winning the lottery. Companies, on the other hand, have current daily data that is primordial to their survival. They CAN'T take chances. Bear something in mind when it comes to regular home users using XP, they, like everyone else in this world who use computers, have to be careful, and use a good AV program and not turn their firewalls off. We could go on talking about this for days, but the point I was making to sd444 is that it's immoral and unethical to attempt to get people to dump their XP systems in favour of another OS or another machine, based on unsubstantiated speculations. There could be a million techie people out there doing the same, and maybe half of them have ulterior motives, but one thing for sure, there is no evidence that any of what they are speculating, will ever come to fruition. .
We are talking about sd444's warnings to XP users that come April of this year, the shyte's gonna hit the fan. Please stay on topic. Last edited by RockySosua; 01-17-2014 at 07:52 AM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
but it is not speculation, the question is when.... a lot has changed also since this happened, owning compromised machines have become a for profit business. with the issues of ransomware right now I expect they are just waiting with a zeroday to increase their income. so does a personal computer need to move over right now? No but your also doing the people a disservice by sticking their head in the sand and think nothing going to happen for years. At a min they should be warned that MS is stopping updates leaving it more vulnerable to attack and when an exploit is exposed MS will not fix it leaving you open to compromise.

Temperley London Fall 2012
>> For Fall 2012, Alice Temperley looked to "the sumptuous colors and decadent subjects of the religious paintings and tapestries" of the Renaissance era. Indeed, it was a decadent offering — and plenty appealing. There were full-flare skirts in gold jacquard; delicate blouses detailed with intricate lace insets; and a plethora of metallic gowns embellished with Tudor-inspired embroidery. Draped dresses in solid-colored silk and some cozy-looking fur-and-leather coats provided balance, while the Russian-style hats that topped each look added just the right hint of romance.

I know that a lot of people on the forum are big fans of The Beltman, now I am too.
I ordered a belt online Sunday morning, and got a phone call from Jim himself Sunday afternoon letting me know that there was some payment issues, and that I should call back at my convenience to finish the transaction. Called the shop on Monday morning and talked to Traci... Two minutes, deal done.
In today's age of little or no customer service, it is a breath of fresh air to do business with people like Jim, Traci, and everyone else at The Beltman.
Just for that simple act, The Beltman has a customer for life.
Thanks to all at The Beltman.
